That I’m writing this Virgin Atlantic Upper Class review suggests at least one thing: there is no going back. Having finally – triumphantly – clawed my way into that magenta-hued haven of relaxation, I’ll now be unable to sit through an Economy Class flight again. I’ve reached the summit of the cabin world and I can’t look down; that mysterious curtain of separation blocking my…

Stepping onto the balcony, the warm Caribbean air rushed to meet us. Thick and muggy, it hung like a sugary sweet blanket; the scent of roasted breadfruit rising from the market below.

Given how much I’ve written about anxiety, you’d be forgiven for thinking that I’m finally done with the subject. Surely I’ve got nothing left to say about this adrenaline- seeking junkie of a disorder?

Less a coherent city, and more a sprawling metropolis of diverse neighbourhoods (each the size of a large town), LA is a city that can swallow its visitors whole. Indeed, stay for a year, and you might find that you’ve barely scraped…

We’ve always considered ourselves to be conscientious sort of people. Organised, diligent and ever mindful of deadlines. The regrettable Teacher’s Pet of the blogging world. Until it came to podcasting. Yes, it has been a whole four months since we recorded our last podcast. Four months. In our defence, much of that time was spent travelling (LA, Provence, the Lake District, Vienna and Germany), but also…
